Its hanging on a hair inside a small plastic cup so I have turned the photo around. Was more greyish brown when alive and about a quarter of an inch in length.I have tried to identify it online but am very confused and need to know for definite.

Where I live is surrounded by woods - but this was inside the house, so I am a bit worried!!!!

Many thanks Mike - its good to know that this weevil possibly prefers acorns to humans!

My garden backs on to part of Sherwood Forest which is mostly Sycamore,Silver Birch and you've guessed it- Oak trees! There is a lot of wildlife around here,most of which I am happy to live alongside as it generally stays outside!
